Mother Mary Shrine--near Cebu City. We did a pilgrimage to this site, driving a couple hours from the city, to climb a hill to this shrine/church/monastery, standing in line for 2 hours, to kiss the miraculous statue of Mother Mary. This statue was donated to a small, poor monastery in the 1960s. Since then, it became miraculous, crying tears, and being instrumental in healing. In the church, pilgrims take off their shoes as a sign of respect. The ceiling is a mural of paintings depicting Mary with Christ Child.
